Something is amiss at the Circle K

It's April Fools Day, I believe nothing today  

 

Jesus christ, calm down  ! Ypu artistic bunch are really a handfull. This isn't some picture made by a master artist, is a freaking toy brand we're talking about. We are lucky we got quality content from something made just to sell toys. And yes there is quality, Beast Wars, Animated, Prime, the IDW comics, each has a great number of fans for a reason.

Face the reality, the real world is not moved by art, but by money and love  ... but mostly money xD.

 

I can´t see when he is saying good bye to Movieverse...  in fact I think He´s clearing the water

i don't see that happening- but at this point if it somehow did, it might end up being TF's best chance at actually getting some respectable movies.

 

*Looks at thread*

I see the crazies are given free reign now. Time to cull the herd.  

 

Serious question: what demographic are you in? i.e age range? I'd like to reply but it's easier if I know the context you're coming from.

 

As long the cartoons don't end up like...
The Rise of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
I don't like our beloved TFs turned into a Psychedlic Cartoon of some sort.
 :

TLK didn't do well. Come on. Everyone knows it. Who he's fooling?
How come there's so much hate compared to AOE?

Of course the fella is just doing a formality remarks for the sake business.
It's what businessmen does. "Everything is just fine". As long retailers buys a shit load from them, they're secured.
It's the retailers problem how will they sell ALL the stuff they've ordered from Hasbro. Including pegwarmers.

This is like how Hasbro screwed up the mold of MPM-4 on initial releases.
But they never admitted their fault why the initial releases of MPM-4 are faulty in varying degrees.
And "everything is fine" since many retailers are getting MPM-4s from them.

It's like a Vicious Cycle. Like it or not, it still happening.

But you gotta admit Hasbro still making good stuff apart from Transformers.
I'm an avid supporter of their Marvel Legends line. Even they started in 6" action figures with total suckery.
Hell... Horse Fuck Face Emma Frost in their 1st ML line, fans giving them a chance..
They've improved overtime. Took a hiatus. Return in the ML scene with so much improvement.
And now they're being hailed among 6" action figure fans to the point of dissing and kicking the ass of Mattel's quality of action figures be put to shame.

The movie-verse... well they given so much free hand to paramount.
And well everything is history.

BUT they're listening to fans.
PROOF: The CHUGS... Especially Combiner Wars, Titans Return and Power of the Primes.
If anyone will say, Hasbro isn't listening then that's a total april fools.

 

Realistically all of this probably won't change anything, but it seems like it'll be a positive change if any. For me the series has basically been kept alive entirely by the classics series' toy lines and comics and this isn't going to affect either of those. All of the movies and every TV series since animated have been pretty subpar IMO and I really couldn't get into any of them, so I guess it's good that they seem to be trying to improve in those fields. Even if they make those worse it doesn't bother me since I've stopped watching them entirely and stopped expecting anything from them.

Which is fine, the brand will live on as long as we keep getting things like classics-esque lines and other media referencing and relating to the more popular series(G1,BW,etc) We don't really need the new stuff to be good(would be nice if it was) we just need it to exist as a way of perpetuating the brand in general i guess. idk really.

 

Hmmm reminds me of news of Hasbro putting up their own media turf and registers new labels and properties?

 

I'm waiting on either Bay or someone from Paramount to admit they dropped the ball with TLK.

 

You want them to tell a public lie?

 

I don't know about you guys, but I'm starting to get the same feeling I had in 2006/2007 before the release of the first Bay movie. A feeling of slightly giddy, yet cautious, optimism. I saw (here on TFW) what appeared to be a test shot of a VW alt mode for the upcoming Bee movie. One way or another, this is going to be a new beginning. I'm looking forward to seeing how it develops.

 

With all the cord cutting these days you have to wonder if they might be better off going with one of the popular streaming services for the cartoon. It seems like all Cartoon Network wants to do is show Teen Titans Go and almost nothing else. Plus from some of the what's coming to Cartoon Network videos I just don't see the sort of content that will drag kids away from Disney or Nick to watch Cartoon Network enough to even know they had a new Transformers cartoon.

Over on the live action movie side I think people need to give Paramount some time to get the studio back in order. It's not a quick and easy thing to just change course when it comes to making movies. With Paramount not being the largest of the Hollywood studios it's not like they have the money to do a rapid turn around.

 

What? Are you scoffing? I heard something bad about TFs from ordinary viewer only one time and it was back in 2009. I asked tens (if not hundreds) of people in different countries (including US!), my friends, relatives, neighbors, travel companions in hostels, trains, planes, etc, children and adults. I see numerous people in twitter, who write many positive things even about TF5! You yourself said that TF Movies are very popular in Shri-Lanca. At the same time very little amount of people watch those shitty shows like RID. And if the Movies would be considered as bad, they wouldn't earn ~4,5 billions. Yes, maybe TF5 was not so successful, but it is definetely worse, than previous ones. And you can't erase their huge success! If you would be a Movie fan, you would never lie about general audience to please Bay-haters here, who repeat the same lie for years.

I'm sick of this site. Sick of stupid people, who live in surreal nostalgic world and spit on actual life, other people's opinions, other nations around the world and enormous work of filmakers, because... IT'S JUST A VOGUE TO COPY THE DECEITFUL FOOLISH WORDS OF THE SMALLEST GROUP OF VENAL, IGNORANT, WORTHLESS PEOPLE, WHO CALLED THEMSELVES "PROFFECIONAL CRITICS", when there is no such speciality in any college and university! They just TRY TO COMPENSE THEIR INCAPACITY AND THE LACK OF TALENTS BY BASHING EVERYTHING THEY WANT. You all are slaves of them, of hypocrisy, stereotypes and lie, except of a few sane people here. This is atrocious! Hypocricy killed Jesus Christ and many other good people, who tried to change a world. I don't want to spend my time here anymore. I don't want to call myself a Transformers FAN, because absolute majority of fans are idiots. They can't see the goodness just under their nose and are obsessed with unoriginal, stupid, childish media. Good bye, people! You gave me enough anger and hatred.

 

Alright, see you around then, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

(I know, might be a bit too harsh, but I just couldn't with this guy.)

 

Are you alright? Do you need a Snickers? You aren’t you when you’re hungry. Snickers satisfies.

I’d also like to mention that people are entitled to have their opinion, regardless of what it is, it’s something they own and control and you shouldn’t allow that to bother you. We are also allowed to express our opinions openly, whether you choose to read or reply to it is entirely up to you.

Also “hypocrisy killed Jesus Christ”, please don’t start a discussion or debate about this, not here at least.

Side note, it’s Sri Lanka not Shri-Lanca.

 

Honestly, I don't even know what his point is anymore. all I can picture is some creepy dude asking everyone about transformers EVERY where he goes. for research obviously.


The movies are bad. That is not an opinion based on the success or likeability of the film. it's been said 100,000 times. They're great entertainment and for anyone who wants to sit back and watch an action movie with the need to focus on story or character development. but they disregard some very basic tenants of storytelling, no one is asking for an award wining work of intellectual art, just let us actually meet the characters and learn to hate or love them before they get smashed to bits. The largest complaint anyone should have on EVERY one of these movies is the huge amount of resources, time and energy it takes to put these movies together, and with all that planning and technical skill, why would you go through the effort to leave something so rudimentary like a story or character arc fall so flat. (insert the movie of your choice.) It's just opportunity (impressively huge opportunity) to really bring that to the table WITH the Bay level action.


Now I'm sad thinking about it.
